Huge trees/ foundation damaged - what should I do?

Sam Zawatsky
Posted

Hello, this house is located in Jacksonville Florida and there are these 2 enormous live oak trees in the yard. I noticed that there is a divot in the roof that I asked about last week, and now I noticed that there is a crack on the brick siding of the house. I believe this is from the tree’s roots lifting up part of the foundation. I am contemplating getting the 2 trees totally removed now, as well as getting a full repair of the foundation/ brickwork . What would you do?

Get the tree trimmed right now. Then call a foundation Contr to take a look at the issue. Hard to tell by the pictures, but it may not be that serious.
